The University
Certificate in Counselling Women applies contemporary feminist theory
to the practice of counselling. The program develops basic counselling
skills with a particular emphasis on acquiring crisis intervention
skills.
The program is ideal for professionals and volunteers—crisis
workers, social workers, family life educators, adult educators,
nurses,
teachers, and vocational counsellors—who will acquire the skills
to help women solve specific and everyday problems. The University has also developed program learning outcomes that describe the career options that may be available to you upon graduating.
Students holding a Diploma in Social Work should choose electives
in consultation with an Athabasca University advisor to ensure the
electives meet the requirements of the UCCW, BPA Human Services
and B. Health Administration.
The elective courses can consist of Athabasca University courses
and approved courses from other institutions. The certificate can
be transferred to other programs at Athabasca University and other
universities if the courses fit the requirements at the receiving
institution. For details, please contact the Program Coordinator.
Athabasca University advisors have developed a
Program Plan to assist you.
